    The ambience, service, and food at Cafe La Haye were impeccable. The dinning room, which is nicely decorated with artwork, has an intimate feel. Service was friendly and efficient. Every dish from the beef carpaccio appetizer to the Quail and Filet Mignon mains to the almond cake and chocolate silk pie desserts were amazing. We highly recommend Cafe La Haye!

    I loved everything about the experience, although I was surprised to learn I was charged $4 for 3 small pieces of bread. I believe it that should have been included with my meal. Renee

    Four of us enjoyed a wonderful birthday celebration on the patio. Everything was exceptional, but the service from Alexa was outstanding. Her knowledge, guidance and kindness made for a truly memorable evening. We loved it all: Endive salad with fresh crab, fresh falafels topped with ahi tuna, tagliatelle pasta with fresh truffles, perfectly cooked Filet and NY steaks, and roast chicken. My only regret was that the four of us didn’t get to enjoy the prix fixe Egyptian dinner… Hoping that will stay on the menu until we return for another celebration!
